Abstract
Prolonged survival of the patient with a single ventricle is rare. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who has type A(3) Of Van Praagh's classification of single ventricle with pulmonary hypertension withou t pulmonary stenosis. Favorable streaming, a large bulboventricular fo ramen, and intact atrioventricular valves may have contributed to his long-term survival.
